4) Work out

Having a regular exercise regimen will help attune you to your body: its aches and pains, its strengths and weaknesses. Although some people find peace in an adrenaline-pumping high intensity workout, activities such as yoga, pilates and running are also great options for quieting your mind, regulating your breathing and focusing on the push and pull of your own muscles. Not only is working out great for your physical health, but the endorphins released through exercise will also help put you in a better mood. As you develop a routine, be sure to celebrate each milestone you’ve reached – no matter how big or small.
